Condition
: Photos are in very good condition. Contrast is good. Some soiling and spotting to photos and  mounts. Amanda's photo is lifting from mount at lower left. No writing on photos. Only ID is slips of paper  inserted with each photo with names on them. I believe they were removed from a photo album, and the  descriptions are accurate. I have seen another photo of Amanda, and can verify that this photo is of her. I have  also seen a photo of one of their sons online and can verify that the likeness to Henry is strong.
The "facesfromthepast" watermark is for eBay  purposes only, and does not appear on the original photo you will receive.
